The Responsibility Where it Belongs.

The New YORK InleS (MugWump) says
The protectionists are not blind to the d
lemma in which they arc involved by their OBJ
stinate resistance to the reduction OF taxation.
They cannot help seeing that there may be
very serious consequences from the accumula-
tion of money In the treasury, and they know,
ofcourse, that the only real remedy for this
evil is to repeal the taxes that bring In the
money. But as that is what they have re.
sisted by every means IN their power, they are
compelled to divert attention from their own
responsibility in the matter and TO try to throw
the blame on some one else.
The Times, as usual with Il, mlsstates the
situation. Those whom the Times styles
.'protectionists" have not, by "their OBJ.
stinate resistance" preventt "the reduc-
tion Of taxation" They have prevented
and intend to prevent any change OF the
laws by which the labor OF the uuder.paid
and half starved workingmen of Europe
can come into competition with the labor
Of Americans.
.sIt was ex-Speaker Carlisle, who agrees
with the Times on questions of revenue
collection, that prevented, not by "obstl-
nate resistance" but by unwarranted and
high-handed usurpation, the PRODUCTION OF
taxatioD.n
The Times cannot truthfully hold the
Republican party or the protectionists re-
sponsible for the surplus In the treasury
and the dangers which threaten to follow
its rapid increase They were ready at any
time in the last Congress to vote for meas
ures that would really reduce the revenue
and actual taxation, but they were not
prepared to have horizontal or any
other sort OF tariff reduction bill passed,
on the pretense Of reducing the revenue,
when, In fact, It would only reduce the
wages Of American workmeu, close factor
ies, increase tramps, and probably increase
the revenue.
Free trade papers, like the Times, will ut
terly fail in the effort to make the Ameri
can people believe that any but the free
trade tariif-reform Democrats and Mug
wumps are responsible for whatever OF
disaster may follow the want OF non'actior
by the forty.ninth Congress on t &c revenue
question.

you remember we told you some

bark hat that we had some diHculty
ment" between the exclusion matters
here and the American agent in New
York to keep us "out," so thaf the
price could be kept up here in wash
ington. Well, we got the Bark Hats
through n third party, and while ex-
clusion hatters were selling them here
at $3.50 each wo sold them at o., but
so many complaints have reached us
OF tho wearing quality of these bark
hats that We have determined to let
them go at 80 cents apiece-at buyers
risk, though. We shall not hold our
| selves responsible for the wear and SER
vice they will give. We bought them
| rs n novelty, that was all, and when
we make mistake we shoulder the
loss ourselves; We never try to m IKE
our patrons share it with MS. Tho bark
hats cost us more than so cents apiece at
wholesale-they are worth 90 cents to the
consumer, but no more. 1t is claimed
that the bark from which they are
made is non-cond uctor of heat;
whether IL is or not we cannot say,
but each hat is worth just 80 cents,
and that's our price.

Ithad rsined 80 persistently in San Fran
cisco during the inst week OF January,
1854, that a certain quagmire in the road
way Of Long Wharf, had become impossible,
and a plank was thrown Oyeri ts dangerous
depth. IuIcct, 80 treacherous WAS the
spot that it WAS alleged, on good authority,
that a hastily cmbarking traveller had once
hopelessly lost his ~POrimsnteau, and was
fain to dispose Of bis entire interest in 1t
for the sum Of - 10 to 4 speculative
stranger N the warG. As the strangers
search WAS I, varded afterwards only by
the discovery Of the body Ola casual China
man, who had evidently ~endeavored wick,
ediy to anticipate him, q feeling OF COM
merc,al insecurity was added to the other
ecc.ntricities OF the locality.
The plank led to the door Of q building
that was q marvel even in the chaotic
frontier architecture OF the street. The
houses on either side-irrsgular frames OF
wood or corrugated iron-bOre evidence OF
having been quickly thrown together, to
meet the requirements Of the goods and
passengers who were once disembarked on
what WAS the muddy beach Of the infant
-. But the building in question eN-
hibited a certain elaboration OF form and
design utterly inconsistent with this idea.

the street, with a cuTying line Of small
windows, surmounted by elaborate cary
ingS and scroll work OF vines and leaves,

seen in the ~listleSs faces and ~louuging feet

the dead ashes of last nights fires. There
was q brief pause before the busy life
which ran its course from steamer day"
to steamer day was once more taken up.
In that interval a few anxious spectators
and investors breathed freely, some critical
situation was relieved, or some impending
catastrophe momentarily averted. In par
